The units dispose of condensate through a 3/4 in. NPT female
fitting that exits on the compressor end of the unit. Condensate
water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop installations
(where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground level installa-
tions. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that the outlet of
the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate
connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap
with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away
from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water away
from the unit, install a field-supplied 2 -in. trap at the condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage. Condensate trap is available
as an accessory or is field-supplied. Make sure that the outlet of the
trap is at least 1 in. lower than the unit drain-pan condensate
connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Connect a drain
trough using a minimum of field-supplied 3/4 -in. PVC or
field-supplied 3/4 -in. copper pipe at outlet end of the 2 -in. trap
(See Fig. 11). Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain trough
downward at a slope of at least 1 in. every 10 ft of horizontal run.
Be sure to check the drain trough for leaks. Prime the trap at the
beginning of the cooling season start-up.
Step 7—Install Electrical Connections
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken
electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may
consist of an electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug
in the control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical
ground when installed in accordance with NEC, ANSI/NFPA
American National Standards Institute/National Fire Protec-
tion Association (latest edition) (in Canada, Canadian Elec-
trical Code CSA C22.1) and local electrical codes. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in serious injury or death.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to
the unit being installed:
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local electrical codes
governing such wiring. In Canada, all electrical connec-
tions must be in accordance with CSA standard C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and applicable local
codes. Refer to unit wiring diagram.
2. Use only copper conductor for connections between
field-supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO
NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Be sure that high-voltage power to unit is within operating
voltage range indicated on unit rating plate. On 3-phase
units, ensure phases are balanced within 2%. Consult local
power company for correction of improper voltage and/or
phase imbalance.
4. Insulate low-voltage wires for highest voltage contained
within conduit when low-voltage control wires are in same
conduit as high-voltage wires.
5. Do not damage internal components when drilling through
any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc.
HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS — The unit must have a
separate electrical service with a field-supplied, waterproof dis-
connect switch mounted at, or within sight from the unit. Refer to
the unit rating plate, NEC and local codes for maximum
fuse/circuit breaker size and minimum circuit amps (ampacity) for
wire sizing (See Tables 3A and 3B for electrical data).
The field-supplied disconnect may be mounted on the unit over the
high-voltage inlet hole (See Figs. 2-3).
If the unit has an electric heater, a second disconnect may be
required. Consult the Installation, Start-Up and Service Instruc-
tions provided with the accessory for electrical service connec-
tions.
Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes abuse and
may cause unit damage that could affect warranty.
ROUTING POWER LEADS INTO UNIT — Use only copper
wire between disconnect and unit. The high-voltage leads should
